A man led police on a high-speed pursuit along a busy Cardiff road which saw other drivers swerve out of the way to avoid a head-on collision. Kieron Mackie, 25, drove at speeds of around 80mph as he tried to escape officers having got behind the wheel of a car with no licence or insurance.
During the chase, which lasted a matter of minutes, Mackie, of Clos Hafren, Trowbridge, narrowly avoided hitting a cyclist and collided with another car as he tried to overtake it. After turning into a small cul-de-sac, he fled the vehicle and was later found at a nearby property where he was arrested.
He appeared at Cardiff Crown Court for sentencing on Friday, August 5, having previously pleaded guilty to four driving offences, namely dangerous driving, driving with no licence, driving with no insurance and failing to stop after being told to by police.
